[Brad Williams]

New intro, new show, huh? Look, mixed martial arts news. Let's just get the Conor McGregor stuff out of the way. Conor McGregor's fiance Dee Devlin breaks her silence after shame UFC star lost his civil sex assault trial. Yeah, she just posted kind of a victim blaming nightmare of victim blaming kind of. Yeah, just straight tweet. Or not even tweet. Instagram offensive.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, turns out women don't like other women and then Every time a woman runs for office, they all yell at the women. What's up, women? What are you doing not voting for me? I got eggs, little crabs in the.

[Brad Williams]

Bucket mentality, I think. I hate to be a misogynist but it does seem like women, like if you have a case against a woman, you want a lot of women on the jury.

[Adam Carolla]

Yes.

[Brad Williams]

Because they will definitely shred the other woman. Very judgmental. It does seem like I've just been.

[Adam Carolla]

Telling women I hear it all the time like with like a female comedians ago. She should support other feet. Stop the pipe.

[Brad Williams]

Drink. They don't.

[Adam Carolla]

They don't. I'm here to tell you women do not support other women. Black people do not support other black people. Black women do not support white women. The beauty of being a white guy. We don't support each other, but we don't think we do.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, we know. We know. Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Dane Cook, more supportive of my standup career. He's a dude.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah. It's implicit.

[Adam Carolla]

It's not there. We don't care. We fight. No one's your friend. You do it on your own.

[Brad Williams]

But they pretend.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, they pretend.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah. She said a lot of wild things. No one's entitled to comment on our relationship. We trust one another and love one another. No, nothing or nobody would change that. Our family stands strong, furious rant aimed at Ms. Hand who made all the allegations and won the 200 some odd thousand.

[Adam Carolla]

Where does that 200 like McGregor drives around in a Rolls Royce.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

That's 250 grand. It's just not that much for what she's saying happened.

[Brad Williams]

The interesting thing and I looked into this after this started coming up and you know, being the newsman, it's part of my job on your show. So I was looking at it for the other show. I. What happened was Conor McGregor's lawyers actually tried to settle this case earlier in the whole process but she didn't said no. The jury awarded her 250some odd thousand dollars and what happens now is because of the way Irish law works is that she may have to pay out of that for his lawyers because the number that they offered was much higher than that. The law works over there. Where. Oh, you didn't accept and you made the court go into all this. Now we're going to take it out of your settlement.

[Adam Carolla]

So interesting.

[Brad Williams]

He may end up owing money. It's a very strange thing that happened. Yeah. And his. Conor McGregor.

[Adam Carolla]

What's your prediction with Conor McGregor?

[Brad Williams]

I don't know. You know, it doesn't really Matter like the. You know, I'll just move to the next story, which was proper 12 drops Conor McGregor after sexual assault ruling, which in the article, it sounds bad until you realize that Conor McGregor already sold his stake in Proper 12 for $600 million.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, really?

[Brad Williams]

Yes. That guy, he has fuck me money, right? He doesn't have fuck you. He can just fuck himself and still just need to work. He doesn't need to work. He just got a deal with the bare knuckle fighting promotion to make them more popular. So he's kind of the pitch man there. He's just a wild man now. Everyone says, oh, he's never going to fight again. And I mean, why. Why would he? Almost at this stage in the game, you know, I mean, champions. Look, I'm retired, but every day I wake up and I'm. Yeah, I kind of wish I could get back in there, you know, get paid to do something that I love to do. Conor McGregor, I'm sure, has that mindset too. He loves the fight, he loves the excitement of it, but I don't. I don't know. Who knows what's gonna happen. He had two fights left on his UFC contract.

[Adam Carolla]

Well, who. He does.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm trying to think, you know, guys got rich and they got paid and they kept going. Most people fight to lift themselves up out of poverty.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And I think you could argue that a guy like Mike Tyson may have hurt his career. I don't know if it's the most, but quite a bit through being rich and surrounding himself with certain kinds of people and living the lifestyle.

[Brad Williams]

I did it on a smaller scale where, oh, I'm Mayhem now. And everybody's like, wants to hang out with mayhem and everybody wants to give mayhem drugs and everyone wants to do. And then this crazy girl gets involved, and then it's like, I can only imagine what it is to be Conor McGregor. $600 million level.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I'm just saying there are other guys. Like, Jon Jones has been making money for quite some time. Seems to show up at the fights ready to fight.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, that's true. But remember we talked last week where in some trouble he's doing a little bit of dance? Well, yeah, the trouble aside, he's doing a little bit of dancing around where the number one contender is the interim champ, and he's talking about not fighting the guy, which is giving everybody the excuse to go, duck, duck, duck.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, I know, but he's been around. He's been on the scene for 20 years now, and dominant force, dominant for 20 years, which is insane for that sport. And then there are other guys like Buster Douglas, who beat Tyson in the fight of the century and then started immediately packing on weight and having fun and showed up at his next fight. You're overweight, and I don't know if Holyfield took him down or whoever. But the point is maybe, maybe Lennox Lewis money doesn't. You know, that happened to Roberto Duran. Roberto packed on a bunch of weight after the first fight, and that went right into the no Moss fight.

[Brad Williams]

And you're looking at now, like in the boxing world with Canelo. He made plenty of money and still consistent and doing it 30, 33 years old, but he's still like a beast of a fighter. Like, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

Getting in there twice a year.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, some guys take it seriously. And look, there are certain comedians who, like, show up half drunk, half cocked, half baked, you know, and they mail in whatever they're. They just mail it in. They're getting paid, you know, kind of thing. There's. It exists in all professions is sort of what I'm saying. But there something about the guy who can maintain the discipline, stay on the diet. You have all the money in the world, but you eat like a poor person, essentially. I don't mean like a poor person, but, I mean, you're not going to get what you want for dinner, even though you could afford it 2 million times over.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

You know what I'm saying?

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And those guys have long careers, end up making lots of money.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, I agree.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah. No stress. Yeah. So, yeah, they dropped him as a spokesperson for Proper 12. Like I said, he already sold out.

[Adam Carolla]

Right.

[Brad Williams]

From that, so it's no big deal. And yeah, his wife is. Or soon to be wife, eventually wife for many years now is standing strong next to her in fight news 311, UFC 311 here at. Here in LA at the Dome. Yes. In January 18th. Actually has kind of a barn burner of a fight. Two guys who both lost. Alex Pereira, Jerry Proshenka and Jamal Hill are going to fight. This.

[Adam Carolla]

Jamal Hill lost that big fight, got.

[Brad Williams]

Caught, like, where he did a leg kick to Alex, and Alex kind of got Cub checked, but then waved off. Herb Dean, I don't need any help. And then just left. Hooked him into outer space.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, that was Jamal Hill. And Jerry is. I. I'm sure you've seen highlights of this guy. Kind of weird dreadlock Pollock with. That just throws crazy moves and comes at you with spinning attacks and jumps off the cage and he's like. Fights kind of like a lightweight, but he's, you know, he's a light heavyweight. Really, really wild guy. Jerry, this is kind of an exc.

[Adam Carolla]

Wait, See the guy at the man bun?

[Brad Williams]

Yes. With the man, like samurai type thing.

[Adam Carolla]

Top.

[Brad Williams]

Not if you will.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's. He's fun guy to watch.

[Brad Williams]

Yes, definitely. And Jamal Hill is more of a standard type guy, like boxer base. You got a boxer base. Worst tattoos on earth with the two thumbs up on his chest. You know the guy I'm talking about. Yeah, actually, really, you know, a really tough fighter. Had an injury about six, eight months before the Pereira fight, and Torres acl. No worse. Ripped his Achilles tendon off.

[Adam Carolla]

Oh, I meant, I'm sorry.

[Brad Williams]

Playing basketball.

[Adam Carolla]

Sorry.

[Brad Williams]

Something like that.

[Adam Carolla]

Hurts my teeth.

[Brad Williams]

I meant.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, he tore his Achilles. Yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

And Hill was supposed to fight Kyle Khalil Roundtree, the guy who challenged Pereira next. So Pereira is just at the top of this division and just everybody else's fighting for that second place position. And this is like a, you know, this is a big one right here to determine. But at the same time, I don't know, they're going to have to bring in some, you know, new blood up from the rankings because he's already defeated these guys, like, handily, like in the first round. Like, not even, you know, it's like one of those things where the elite guys are elite and they're, you know, it's way above everyone else in the division. That's what's happening right now. We're seeing another. We're seeing the Poeton era, you know.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I mean, you want parody, but the elite guys are too far ahead of the. I mean, I. Jon Jones was kind of that way with the light Heavies for a long time. I mean, folks would. Gustafson and guys like that would try, but it just. I mean, they give him. He had a couple of decent fights, you know, D.C. and stuff like that, but not really Gustafson, the first one and then the second one, and then.

[Brad Williams]

The Dominic Reyes fight was like. I don't know. That was one of those fights where we all. Like when. Well, he lost that fight. No, barely, but he did. And then Jon Jones lost. Jon Jones. I don't know. Everybody that I had talked to, yeah, Reyes edged them out because he landed more. He pushed him around the cage. And that was before he went to heavyweight. Like, so there was a strange one, like, kind of an asterisk that everybody in the know with mixed martial arts went well. Wait a minute. Reyes kind of pushed him around. Then Reyes went on with his career, and after that fight, he really looked bad.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

So that was his, like, shining achievement. And then afterwards, there was no. Nothing.

[Adam Carolla]

I wonder when guys get disappointed if they're sometimes not right. Like, they feel like they hung it all out, they left it all in the cage, got nothing to show, and they got that. L. I wonder if it just takes some of the starch out of them and they just. They're not right after that.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah, I. There's something to that. I think maybe it did. Like, I. I had a fight that. Like that, and it did take some wind out of my sails. Like, what the hell? Like, how could I work so hard and, you know, go this direction? So there might be something to that. Reyes. I don't know what happened. Maybe injuries or something with him and the fact that he came so close to winning the title and then nothing.

[Adam Carolla]

You know, I don't think, like, the Atlanta Falcons were up on the Patriots, I don't know, 26 to 3 going into the fourth quarter, and somehow they lost through their own incompetence. And of course, the Patriot magic. I don't really think they've been the same since. I mean, they're just. They're not the same. I mean, they win a few games, they lose a few games, but it's like, you gotta just feel like we had a Super bowl in our pocket.

[Brad Williams]

Yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

And now that was 10 years ago.

[Brad Williams]

[Brad Williams]

One more story here.

[Adam Carolla]

Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills, we are talking about.

[Brad Williams]

The infamous four in a row.

[Adam Carolla]

They lost, but they had the New York Giants. They should have won that game. They were favorites going into that game, and somehow the New York Giants contained them. And then they missed a field goal at the end, and then they just went on and lost three Super Bowls in a row.

[Brad Williams]

It's an honor just to be there.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah.

[Brad Williams]

Hey, Bo Nickel vows to take down all future UFC opponents. There really is no other guy like Paul Craig. He says, I mean, we talked about the boringest fight in the damn world because nobody, you know, and I said a lot of times, wrestlers, elite wrestlers get to the kickboxing room and just turn themselves boring. And that's kind of what he did. But he's, you know, making an addendum here, saying that, oh, it was because Paul Craig is such a good grappler that he didn't want to chance it on the ground. Sort of. That's. That's kind of the gist of this. And, you know, he says he looks at potential matchups in the future. And like, with Paul Craig, it's like his best positions off his back. I didn't think that was the best situation to put him in. And there's really no other guys like that, so I can see what he's saying. There's not, you know, it probably was a decision on the part of his camp where they're like, no, dude, try to just win the standup and don't. Even though he's not the. His standup is not elite quite yet because he hasn't had a lot of experience in it. But, you know, I don't know. I don't know if I'm part of his coaching staff. I say, look, we get a takedown and stand back up. You know, you can score a lot of shots. There's an art to taking a guy down and then standing up out of it. Late in my career was that sort of thing where I would take guys down and instead of being jiu jitsu guy, I would stand back up out of his guard and then punch down at him. He has gravity to worry about. I have gravity on my side to throw big stuff. And, you know, I guess I had a lot more jujitsu experience, so I wasn't worried about getting tapped out. But Bo Nickel doesn't quite have that much jiu jitsu. So now he's saying, okay, I'm take everyone else down. But that guy was one guy I did not want to be on the ground with.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah, it could have been a decision as camp made. I don't know how much listening. Everyone does all the time. The worst piece of advice ever from a corner was Lou Duva.

[Brad Williams]

Oh, you're taking it back.

[Adam Carolla]

I'm taking it back. It was, how we say, Pernell Whitaker, but I can't remember the guy did the Julio Cesar Chavez fight where Julio Cesar Chavez knocked him out with like seven seconds. They called the fight with like three seconds left.

[Brad Williams]

I remember this. Wait faintly. But what did he tell him?

[Adam Carolla]

Louva said, like, it wasn't Purnell Whitaker. It was the other guy who's completely punch drunk now and sad. But Luduva said to him it was either the 12th or the 15th round. I think it was 12 because it wasn't. They'd not done 50. They stopped doing 15. Yeah, this guy was way ahead on points. His fighter, Lou Duvis guy was way ahead. And he was about to put an end to Julio Cesar Chavez, you know, streak of 900 or whatever he was at. And he gave me Taylor. Yeah. And he. And he told him, you gotta win this round, you know, and he should have told him, stay away from this guy. So Meldrick Taylor was really slick, and Julio's a Mexican fighter, you know, put.

[Brad Williams]

Your head on chest and battery.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. And so Lou Duva From 1990, Lu Duva was like, go get him. You need this round. Like, I guess he just thought, oh, fuck it, he's beating him. Yeah, but he should have told him to stay away from him.

[Brad Williams]

And then dance, dance.

[Adam Carolla]

And then it was. And then he knocked. He knocked him out with, like 12 seconds left, but he was going to beat the bell. And he stood up in the corner, and then Lou Duva got on the ring apron and started, like, distracting, like, yelling at the ref. And his fighter, like, looked at Lou Duva like, what are you doing? And the ref went, it's off with, like three seconds left. I will watch it, right? It's crazy. There's 30 seconds left in the round. I don't know, but he shouldn't be trading with him. He should be running. He's down with 16 seconds. He hits the canvas. He's way ahead on points. He pops up at 11. If he gets up, he probably wins the fight, right? But now he's looking at Lou. Lou. Lou walked next to him and he was like, huh? There's Lou Duma. This fucking guy's never been right since Lou Duva. He was like, what? I said. I say pennilecker or who was it? No, wait a minute. That's not Pernell Whitaker. It's Meldrick Taylor. Taylor.

[Brad Williams]

Taylor, yeah.

[Adam Carolla]

Yeah. I always get him confused. He, the rep said, are you okay? And right when he, like, said, like, can you fight? Or whatever, you see him look just right, like, huh? What's Lou doing here? And then the guy waved him off. Lucia told him, get on your fucking bicycle and get away from this guy some jabs for three minutes and you're going to win this fight. But instead, he was trading with the Mexican guy in the center of the ring during the last round when you're way fucking ahead on points because Lou Duva said, you need this. And then Lou Duva got on the apron and distracted the guy when he was trying to get his wits about him, and it would have won a fight.

[Brad Williams]

Wait, who do you think that. Jerry and Hill fight. We never really, like, talked about who we think would win.

[Adam Carolla]

I like Karate Man. Yeah, Jerry, he's too crazy. I don't know enough about.

[Brad Williams]

Listen, you know what? Hill has power. Like, he has power, but we never get to see it. That injury, I think, set him back really bad, and he hasn't showed up. But. Yeah, I don't know. I think I might go Hill. But, yeah, you're right. Karate man does have some. And the funny part is the behind the scenes stuff, Jerry is not. He's very, like, weird, spiritual, hippie kind of strange guy. So I don't know, they talked about. Oh, and Jamal Hill. He said that he was going to put black magic on Jamal Hill.

[Adam Carolla]

That's what I'm saying. Gotta go for him. All right, all right. You had enough? I think we've had done enough.
